Wow, Charlee. I pray this guy is not in Winston Salem, NC. I do not have enough knowlege to know if they know what they are talking about. Kinda of scary since I need to take mine in to be cleaned and adjusted soon.

I've been blessed in that, where I've had my machines serviced, they know what they are doing. Our LQS sells Bernina machines, but do service other brands, and I've never been disappointed.

We have a guy in a very small shop here in Bakersfield, not far from where we live. He was recommended to us, and my mom and my DH have both had machines serviced there, and finished in 2 days and inexpensive. Great work. The big shop where a lot of quilters go takes weeks to get the work done, as so very busy. We'll stick with the small guy. Fajardo Sewing Machines is the name if you are near here.

I once took my old machine to a huskavarna dealer for a "tune up." The guy called and said my machine was a piece of junk and that he would "go ahead and just throw it away for you!" I said ABSOLUTELY NOT! I still sew on it to this day (although it does tie knots in my thread sometimes...only sometimes)

Wow...old post!

Kitsy, "banned" means exactly that... for whatever reason, (usually not following rules) a person gets banned and is not allowed to be a member here.
I believe the photo in Carrie Ann's post are the instructions for lubing a motor.
